Angry Wheels dont fit, Help (pics inside 56k safe)

Well, I tried mounting my snow rims to make sure everything was going to fit OK....well it doesn't. The bolt pattern is fine, the offset is fine.....but this extra lug type thing is in my way. Anyone ever have an issue with this and what did you do to remedy it? As you can see, my wheel pattern is very flat unlike the stock rim. Would drilling out one of the lug holes to accomodate this be the fix? Thanks

You can take that off. Thats there to identify the front rotors from the rear.

The nut comes off. The instructions are all over this forum, as a billion people have ran into this problem before.

This is the 10000000th time someone posted this type of thing, that bolt is only used to hold the rotor on during production, take it off.

yeah just remove it.

i thought it was there to prevent someone from putting the rears onto the front.

also, clean your rotor, that looks nasty!

Alright buddy, beating a dead horse won't do much in this case. The OP has been educated.

A_16: From now on get into the habit of using the search function (sometimes titles-only options helps narrow down results) when you have a question!

You take off your wheels to wash them regularly?

I've just been reaching in there with a sponge.

But the rusting thing is normal... nothing to get worked up about.
